In nn Interviow, tho admiral iscts out tho reasons which Impel him tjo Insist upon tho retention of tho .Islands. The strong point of his nr .Burnont Is not based upon tho military pr naval Importance of tho Islands, but upon tho great valuo, present and prospective, of tho Philippines to America In the extension or our trado with the orient. Tho admiral says: "Abandon tho Philippines? I don't bellove our coun try will over do that. Certainly it should not, becnuso It hns altogether too, much nt stake, It Is only our con trol over tho Philippines that makes It possible ror us to Insist upon tho opon door In tho cast, toward which our diplomacy has been directed for years. Wo want our sharo of tho enormous commerce of tho east and wo can't keep tho door open for It unless we hold tho Islauds. Why did Spain for 200 years dominate tho commerce of tho orient? Just becalm sho had the by and harbor of Manila as n great commercial nnd naval baso. That bano can bo Just as useful to us com mercially as It was to Spain. For ten years every strong Emopean nation hog been trying to get. a foothold for commercial nnd naval purposes In tho far east. Through the fortunes of war tho United Stntes obtained tho best position possible, giving us superior commercial advantages over tho na tions. What sort of n common senso w;ould It bo for us to give up such a position? "Suppose wo Bhould dlsposo of the Philippines nnd Japan Bhould acquire them. Seo how tho Islands stretch along tho coast. Hero nro tho Philip pines and Formosa. If Japan had them sho could command every gatowny to tho orient and the United States would bo completely shut out. Every ono concedes that tho orient Is tho future great field for tho principal commer cial operations of tho world. Wo ought to bo tho leaders, but wo must ntloast havo n sharo In tho enterprise, and In order to do so wo must maintain tho position wo havo occupied. I think it Is plain that wo must havo s. commorclal baso such as Manila, and then, Ui order to protect our commcrco wo must havo n naval baso, and at Su big bay such a baso Is being dovolopod."
